A detailed proposal combining the listed daily route, cultural visits, transport and rest. Overnight towns appear in each day; hotel names and meals are specified in the written quotation.
Sequence: Arrive in Lhasa: transfer and rest → Potala Palace, park and Barkhor → Drepung and Sera monasteries → Lhasa, Yamdrok, Gyantse and Shigatse → Shigatse to Tingri and the Everest area → Everest area to Shigatse → Tashilhunpo and return to Lhasa → Namtso excursion from Lhasa → Lhasa buffer and cultural time → Depart Lhasa
Meet your transfer from the confirmed flight or train and check in. Review the coming days with the team. Keep the day free of demanding visits; a short walk near the hotel is optional if you feel comfortable.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Visit the Potala Palace at the reserved time, exploring its history and architecture. Rest around the park below and view the palace exterior. Walk through Barkhor in the afternoon to understand the old town and its living traditions. Follow on-site visit arrangements.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Explore Drepung’s monastery layout and traditions of Buddhist learning. After a lunch break, visit Sera. Observe debate only if it is taking place and open to visitors; respect monastic study and photography instructions.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Leave early for permitted Yamdrok viewpoints, then continue via Gyantse to Shigatse with breaks. A Pelkor Chode visit depends on arrival time and opening conditions. This is a long driving day, so arrival and rest take priority.
Overnight: Shigatse.
Travel via Lhatse and Tingri toward Everest, allowing time for document checks and breaks. Stop at authorized viewpoints when weather permits. Confirm the accessible visitor area, shuttle arrangements and overnight location in advance; mountaineering camp access is not promised.
Overnight: Everest area or Tingri, subject to confirmed lodging.
If weather and the overnight location allow, enjoy the early light toward Everest. Return to Shigatse after breakfast with meal and rest breaks. Keep the evening light. Sunrise and mountain visibility depend on conditions.
Overnight: Shigatse.
Visit Tashilhunpo to explore Tsang’s monastic culture and architecture. Drive back to Lhasa with lunch and rest stops. Settle into the hotel with time to rest or prepare for the next stage.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Depart early via Damxung with breaks. Enjoy short lakeside walks within the open visitor area, then return to Lhasa. This is a long driving day; discuss alternatives if snow, restrictions or traveler wellbeing make the trip unsuitable.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Keep a buffer for earlier transport or weather changes. If unused, discuss old-town walking, photography or cultural exchanges, agreeing activities and costs first. Household and workshop visits require host consent.
Overnight: Lhasa.
Check out and transfer for your confirmed flight or train. Check luggage, documents and tickets. Agree the transfer window, endpoints and any extra waiting service in writing.
Overnight: None, tour ends.
